Every day chandu would work hard all day long to increase his level to mortal level 10 to unlock the game store. There is no particular reason unlocking game store is just a goal to move forward and also because of curiosity. Even though he was the one who gave the general basis of the game system, it developed in an unpredictable way. Maya being the system does not mean she can control it, she is just the knowledge base and voice of the system only.

Chandu did the work discreetly so that his parents wouldn’t find out about his power. He wanted to wait until he become powerful enough before he could tell his parents, so as not to cause any panic to his parents

3 months have passed, chandu continued to do those silly quests and kill harmful insects like mosquitoes but not all insects. He made few discoveries of the game system power.

First one ‘all the quests are either related to his age or current number of stat points he has in that specific and related categories’.

Second ‘when he killed a certain number of insects of the same kind the experience gain becomes decreased, even the amount of experience obtained through plunder also decreased’.

Third ‘for every level the experience points requires to reach the next level is increased by 100 like level 1 to level 2 required 100 experience points then for level 2 to level 3 the experience points required is 200 and so on’.

Fourth ‘the word mortal represents the realm that we live in ‘.

Fifth ‘every cultivator must cross mortal level 20 to reach foundation level 1. He understood this after one of the skills upgraded to foundation level 1’.

Sixth ‘an ordinary adult human can reach to at most to Mortal level 20, some sages and special skilled people reach foundation level‘.

Chandu also increased the levels of many skills, because of continuous usage of skills.

Stealth skill has reached mortal level 10, at level 10 this skill gave a special ability conceal all the details of himself from the people 2 levels above and can move under them without being detected.

Detection skill has reached mortal level 16, because of the continuous usage to find insects along with map. After reaching level 10, detection also gave a special ability that is the detection range is increased by 15 percent and more detailed.

Assess skill has reached foundation level 1 this made chandu very happy. Assess skill gives the assessment of the person or object like their details. At level 1 it didn’t give anything except for name. Later at level 10 it started giving level of few people, after reaching foundation stage level 1 it can give not only name and level of ordinary people but also other details like age, gender, description and feelings. It also gave small details of plants and materials that are assessed. The special ability is it can give the exact price of few things like pens, home utensils etc.

Barrier skill has reached mortal level 12, like every other skill it also gave a special ability after level 10 that is the barrier can last longer and can protect at least an attack from 3 levels above the level of skill.

Electric shock skill has reached mortal level 18; this did not give any special ability but increased in power, tenacity and duration after level 10.

Plunder skill’s level made chandu the most happiest because it reached foundation level 2, and gave the special skill at foundation level 1, but not at mortal level 10. This can plunder the dead that he did not kill not all things but only few that are left on the dead being.

In the last three months chandu killed nearly 490 insects using barrier and electric shock this improved the skill level by a huge margin. This also gave him 2648 exp points and using the skill plunder along with barrier and electric shock skills to kill the insects it gave him another 2753 exp points, nearly 400 drops of blood of various types and also 19 rupees of money stored in the inventory are obtained. A grand total of 5401 exp points are obtained. He requires another 99 experience points to reach mortal level 10.

Today early in the morning chandu woke up, after a while he checked the game screen to see how much experience he required to reach level 10. Seeing that he require around 99 experience points he estimated that he had to kill around 10 insects to reach level 10.

‘The one thing that is abundant near my home is insects like mosquitoes because of the greenery around my house. There is also a temple with a little lake in front of his house.’

Chandu thought to himself then he went to find insects.

Later that day he killed the insects and stepped into mortal level 10 after reaching level 10

He immediately checked the game status screen,

Chandu became excited seeing the new title ‘insect hunter’. Clicking the title gave the explanation saying ‘title given by killing 500 insects, effect is increase in all stats by 10 percent while fighting any of the insect category living organism and 10 percent increase in experience while killing insect category living organism’.

Looking at the explanation chandu got an idea and said “Maya I have a question, what happens if I see all my enemies as insects? Will this title work then?”

Maya replied pondering for a while “I can’t be sure? Even being the system soul I cannot control this. Give it a try, we will find out soon”.

Leaving that aside chandu said “All the three health, magic and stamina increased by 10 times and also all the powers increased significantly, we have 50 stat points which means each level gave me 5 points lets save them for now we will use them later”.

“Let’s check out the game store, since I reached mortal level 10 it should be unlocked” saying that he opened the game store screen.

On the game store screen there few options saying materials, skills, knowledge, artefacts, pills, techniques and magic charms. Looking at them he selected materials option.

Materials options opened another page showing level 1 materials in five rows each has its respective field of usage like first row has all level 1 alchemy materials, second row has crafting materials, third row has formation materials, fourth row has charm making materials, fifth row has experience packs and stat point packs for sale. This is the first page of materials; the second page has level 2 materials the third page is sealed saying required foundation level 1 cultivation. Materials costs from tens to thousands of rupees, from this chandu could guess that the higher materials can cost even in billions or trillions of rupees.

Skills option also similar to the materials page there are many levels of skills and the cost is also very high, just for the starter level skills costs thousands of rupees. There are upgrades for the already existing skills to increase level. Similar to the materials page skills page is also locked from third page.

Knowledge page as the name says it has the knowledge on various fields like alchemical materials, crafting minerals, formation materials, charm making materials, about cultivation insights, various secret realms, treasure maps and many secrets are in the first two pages. Seeing this chandu become astounded and thought ‘what is there in the in the third page and above?’

Artefacts page has some low level weapons and armour in level 1 and level 2 that can be used by worriers of foundation stage.

Pill page shows level 1 and level 2 pills that can be used worriers under qi sea stage that is ordinary and foundation level worriers.

Techniques page consists of various techniques for cultivation, offensive, defensive and many other models of technique. This page is different from other pages it does not have any locking systems and any realm restrictions. There are many cultivation manuals for main cultivation, body cultivation, mind cultivation and soul cultivation.

Magical charm page is similar to artefacts page it is locked too from the third page. It has some defensive, offensive, healing and many other charms.

After careful investigation of the game store chandu found that everything in this store costs from 10 rupees to several hundred thousands of rupees. The system also has a selling system too, so he casually checked how much the blood and various parts of insects could be sold. After checking chandu found that it can be sold for around 4880 rupees. Chandu took the money out and saw that they are real.

Chandu pondered for awhile and asked “Maya where did the money come from it is real right?”

Maya said “the money is real. It came from the black money that many people stored and died without passing the storing location to anyone, also the black money stored in the bank without owner, you don’t need to worry about anything and use them freely.”

Chandu said “Maya can you get the basic information of all the cultivation levels, cultivation people and faction details that are commonly known”

After searching for a while Maya said “there is common knowledge it costs around 5000 rupees the exact amount of money you have seems like your luck is working. Do you want to buy?”

Chandu said “yes, I want to buy do you need to ask. I don’t know anything about this cultivation world at all “

Maya said “I will add all the knowledge to cart you just needed to click ‘pay’”

A notification popped out showing all the items of purchase and cost of the items, at the pay button at the bottom.
